A Faith-Filled, Laugh-Out-Loud Historical Western Romance About Sisterhood, Second Chances, and Bread That Might Just Save Your Life
What happens when four plus-size women board a train to marry strangers… and decide halfway there they'd rather start a bakery than marry a lie?
Welcome to 1890s Kansas—where the prairie is wide, the men are questionable, and the biscuits are anointed.
Meet the Runaway Brides:
• A bold Irish baker with a rolling pin and zero tolerance for foolishness
• A sharp-tongued New York pastry queen who can smell deception before it rises
• A precise, scripture-quoting Japanese-American baker who measures truth like flour
• A serene Native bread-maker whose recipes come with prayer and quiet authority
They came as mail-order brides.
They arrived with their own tickets (because wisdom travels prepaid).
And when their so-called husbands turned out to be liars, drunks, broke, tooth-challenged, or just plain ridiculous…
They rejected every single one.
Publicly.
Loudly.
And with witnesses.
Now stranded—but not defeated—these women do something far more dangerous than marriage…
They build something.
A business.
A sisterhood.
A legacy.
Introducing The Runaway Bread Company —where bread is baked with faith, laughter is served daily, and no man is allowed to lead unless he can pass inspection (and possibly a biscuit test).
But don't get too comfortable…
Because:
• Rejected suitors are back—and they want revenge (and refunds!)
• The town is divided—half inspired, half scandalized
• A mysterious lawyer is watching closely (and he may be more interested than he admits)
• And somewhere between lawsuits, laughter, and loaves… love is quietly approaching
